Chelsea Intermediate Behavior Incentives Teachers may reward students with Tiger Tickets by giving any student demonstrating expected behavior in any school zone a Tiger Ticket. Each student will have a chart where they will glue their tickets. When their chart is full, they will receive a Tiger Stripe from their classroom teacher. Stripes will be brought down to the office and entered into a weekly raffle.

Unexpected Behaviors are behaviors we would be surprised to see at Chelsea Intermediate. Unexpected behaviors are things that may disrupt our learning environment. Unexpected Behaviors are things kids do or say that others think are hurtful, disrespectful, or not friendly to others.

Possible Consequences Warnings Loss of Recess Time Sit at the Better Choice Table during Lunch & Recess Detentions Loss of Privileges (assemblies, etc)

After 3 missing/late assignments in a quarter – student will receive a lunch/recess detention.
